Job description

This is a senior communications and public affairs role at The British Institute of Human Rights (BIHR) at a pivotal moment for human rights in the UK. You will help shape public and political narratives about the Human Rights Act, amplify lived experience, and ensure BIHR’s expertise cuts through in national debates.

You will lead BIHR’s external communications -  including media, digital content, and website oversight – and support evidence‑informed policy positioning and parliamentary engagement. Working closely with colleagues across the charity, you’ll transform insights from our programmes into powerful, accessible messaging and high‑impact advocacy.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a small but mighty team known for its expertise, credibility, and influence on human rights in everyday systems.

Please note this is not an entry‑level role.

Key Responsibilities

Please refer to the Application Pack for the full details, but below is a summary.

 Communications

  • Lead BIHR’s external communications strategy to ensure consistent, accessible, rights‑based messaging.
  • Draft proactive and reactive press releases and media statements.
  • Secure media opportunities highlighting BIHR’s work and the role of the HRA/ECHR.
  • Manage the consistency and quality of website content.
  • Create engaging digital content that translates complex human rights issues into clear, plain language.
  • Maintain a content calendar aligned with key parliamentary, policy, and public affairs milestones.
  • Track and analyse engagement data to inform strategy.

 Policy Evidence, Analysis & Positioning

  • Conduct policy research grounded in the HRA/ECHR framework.
  • Translate lived and practitioner experience into evidence‑informed policy positions and recommendations.
  • Draft high‑quality briefings, consultation responses, reports, and messaging documents.
  • Horizon‑scan for risks and opportunities to protect and advance human rights.
  • Maintain BIHR’s internal knowledge base on HRA/ECHR and priority policy areas.

 Government & Parliamentary Engagement

  • Monitor UK parliamentary activity and analyse implications for the HRA/ECHR and BIHR’s work.
  • Build relationships with parliamentarians, government officials, and parliamentary offices.
  • Support targeted advocacy to defend the HRA/ECHR and promote rights‑respecting law and policy.
  • Represent BIHR at political and policy meetings and events.
  • Ensure monitoring, evaluation, and reporting of public affairs activity.

 Stakeholder Engagement & Representation

  • Build and sustain partnerships with NGOs, academics, policymakers, legal professionals, civil servants, and parliamentarians.
  • Represent BIHR externally and engage in sector networks.
  • Communicate BIHR’s policy positions and resources clearly and effectively.
  • Identify opportunities for collaboration and influence.

 Other organisational requirements

  • Work collaboratively as part of a small team.
  • Support organisational processes and continuous improvement.
  • Undertake other duties as required.

Who the Role Is Suitable For

This role is ideal for someone who brings strong communications skills, policy and advocacy experience, and a commitment to human rights as practical tools for change.

You’ll thrive if you:

  • Can translate complex law and policy into accessible, compelling communications.
  • Have experience engaging with parliamentarians, officials, and senior stakeholders.
  • Are confident in human rights frameworks, particularly the HRA.
  • Enjoy working in a small, collaborative team.
  • Can manage competing priorities in a fast‑moving, politically sensitive environment.
  • Live within approximately one hour of London, as regular Westminster/Whitehall meetings are expected.

Please refer to the Application Pack for a detailed Person Specification.
